اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "treachery" with "trickery." "Treachery" is about disloyalty and betrayal of trust, while "trickery" is about using clever lies or tricks to fool someone, not necessarily breaking a relationship of trust. Learners may also overuse "treason" when they mean general personal betrayal; "treason" usually refers specifically to betrayal of a country or government.
